Paragraph 1: Correct. Threat as a tank isn't about just generating threat, it's also about reducing the amount of threat other players generate around you. Some refer to this role as a tank not as threat generation, but as creating a "threat gap".
Paragraph 2: You know, maybe I was a bit harsh.
I'll tell you what. Let's both list (at level 36, because that's attainable to me right now, but ideally you want level 50. Nothing matters until the level cap really.) each and every skill the Dread Knight has, and the Paladin has. Just go down the spell book and just list every highest rank you have. Don't forget your stances/auras.
Don't even list any interpretations, we can do that later. Just in that post list them in this format:
Ability Name IV
Cost: X Resource
Refresh: t
Effect: Straight out of the tooltip including any restrictions
After we do this, then we can feel free to interpret all we want. I would really like to put things into context.
Now, you'll have to wait until i get 36, but that isn't too far away. I can hope to get it tonight if I grind out with a good group in-guild.
